New Mercedes E-Class 350 4Matic Hits The Spot(0)
The Mercedes-Benz E class is their top of the line luxury passenger car. In prior years the E class did not always rise very far above the entry level (for Mercedes) C class cars, but the new E350 is a true premium Mercedes. What’s even better is that the price tag for this bundle of [...]

Buick Challenges Acura, Lexus with 2010 LaCrosse
This time last year, journalists, pundits and economists were taking bets on GM’s future, and whether a division like Buick could survive the economic meltdown of the American automobile industry. But here we are at the end of the year and GM has not only survived, but Buick has its new LaCrosse sport sedan on [...]
2010 Ford Fusion Earns Car of the Year Status in Detroit
Ford’s certainly on a roll these days – profitable, not bailed out in any way, and with a stable full of exciting products that people want to buy. To cap off a great year, Ford just garnered two prestigious awards at the Detroit Auto Show for their innovative Transit Connect utility vehicle and for the [...]
2010 Subaru Legacy GT/3.6R
Jeff Zurschmeide already reviewed the entry level version of this car for Driving Sports, and he didn’t like it very much. This is funny to me, because we’re often in agreement on cars, and when in doubt, Jeff is usually the more positive reviewer. I will admit to having a soft spot for the Legacy, [...]
High Expectations
The original Ford Taurus was one of the most important American cars in recent history. Launched in 1985, it single-handedly saved the idea of the domestic sedan, ultimately becoming the best selling sedan in America. That is, until the Toyota Camry finally supplanted its position on that pedestal in 1997. Does the new Taurus and Taurus SHO restore the glory?
Suzuki Launches 2010 Kizashi Sport Sedan
Suzuki has taken a bold step to change its image in America with this week’s launch of the long-awaited Kizashi sport sedan.
The new Kizashi is powered by a normally aspirated 2.4-liter four cylinder, making 185 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque. In some vigorous real world testing, the car averaged 26 MPG while screaming around [...]
Chevy Malibu – A Good Value Family Car
The mid-sized sedan is a major building block of the auto industry, but the cars themselves rarely get a lot of attention. Yet these cars are among the most common vehicles on the road and every major manufacturer has to have a mid-sized sedan in the lineup if they want to sell to the millions [...]
Test Drive: 2010 Subaru Legacy
I’ve spent a lot of time in Subarus over the years, and one of my favorite cars of all time was the 2007 Subaru Legacy Spec.B – it had everything that made Subaru great. It was powerful, had wonderful handling, good looking, and comfortable. Subaru’s Legacy line was ready to step up to the big [...]
The way a big car oughta be: 2009 Chrysler 300C SRT8
I have a simple prescription to save Chrysler: Get rid of everything that isn’t SRT.
For those who haven’t paid much attention to Chrysler in the last few years, SRT stands for Street and Racing Technology, and it’s the semi-independent high performance division of Chrysler. SRT functions like MAZDASPEED for Mazda, STI for Subaru, Ralliart for [...]
Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation: 2009 MKS Sedan
Back in 2002, Cadillac made a bold play to shed its image as an old man’s car by introducing the CTS. They even picked Led Zeppelin’s iconic tune “Rock and Roll” as the theme music. I have never in my life felt so squarely targeted by a car company. You see, when I was in [...]
